Verdict

This looks an above-average fillies maiden. Livia Celeste, Believeinmiracles and Esculenta were fourth, fifth and sixth respectively in the race won by Benitoite at the Curragh last month. Willie McCreery’s charge is the least exposed of that trio and may come out on top this time fitted with headgear. Zaniyka has obvious claims in first-time blinkers. She’s had a break since placed again over 1m4f at the Curragh at the start of June but OH SO LOVELY has more scope. The Ballydoyle filly, a half-sister to three winners, kept on under hands and heels over this trip at Leopardstown last month and is improving with experience.
